Chapter 122: The Bright Light of the Blind (I)
Spring is a season of poetry, and bards have used up almost every beautiful word and verse to describe and praise spring. Spring is another pleasant season, when everything comes back to life and it seems that everything is going in a good direction.
From the moment he left Bran Village, old Charlie had a smile on his old wrinkled face. Spending time with children is always a joy to be filled with the vitality of life. In the eyes of old Charlie, the group of children behind him is like the rising sun in spring, full of vitality, and is the hope for the future of Bran Village.
But this feeling of tranquility was always short-lived, and just as he had left Bran Village with his seven children for about an hour, he was suddenly surprised to see a young figure standing in the middle of the road, boredly kicking the budding grass. He hurriedly walked up and asked in surprise, "Little Eri, why did you come here alone, where are the adults in your family?"
Ari smiled, "I'm here to meet you and participate in the enrollment of the Demon Martial Academy." ”
Old Charlie immediately said angrily when he heard this: "Nonsense, you are only six years old this year, how can you take the exam? ”
Since old Charlie has always been very kind to the children in the village, it is not easy for Ari to argue with him, so he has to pretend to be lost and say: "The village chief grandfather, I will go back now, but I don't know if there are bad people or beasts on the road......"
After hearing this, Old Charlie laughed amusedly, shook his head and said, "Okay, you follow me first, but it's okay, don't make trouble when you get to Dashan Village." ”
"Don't worry, don't you know me, village chief, grandpa?" said Ari immediately laughed and said loudly.
Old Charlie was even more worried after hearing this......
But it was clear that it was impossible for Ari to go back alone, so he shook his head and continued with his hands behind his back.
......
Dashan Village is also the largest of the more than 10 villages in the north. It is located in the outer area of the Kawagebo Mountains, about ten miles away from Bran Village, with a population of more than 800 households, which is dozens of times the population of Bran Village.
The assessment point of the Atlanta City Demon Martial Arts Academy is located in Dashan Village, and more than a dozen nearby villages have to go to Dashan Village to participate in the assessment. Due to the short distance, old Charlie had to speed up his journey and try to arrive earlier.
Ari walked slowly to Joffrey's side and asked casually, "How is the matter with you?" ”
When Joffrey heard this, he immediately showed a flattering smile like a dog's leg and said, "Anyway, Uncle Henry's expression was terrifying at that time. Those who don't know think he's been robbed. ”
Ari nodded, then looked at his surroundings with interest. It's just that no matter how beautiful the environment is, it's tiring to look at it for hours. I couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you rent a few carriages." ”
Old Charlie turned around when he heard this, and said seriously: "The college is strict, and taking the car will show that we are not sincere, and we should study hard!"
As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, not loud, and gradually became clear from far to near. Old Charlie glanced at it, and his face couldn't help but turn dark, is it appropriate to slap his face like this?
Ari looked in the direction of the sound and saw several wagons riding down the road. Boys and girls of their age were chattering and laughing in the carriage......
With his toes, Ari knew that this must be a contestant from another village. Suddenly, he looked at old Charlie with an innocent face and asked, "Grandpa the village chief, who are they?" ”
"Ahem...... old Charlie blushed, pretended not to hear Eri's words, commanded the children to let the team go, and waited for the carriage to leave, and immediately told them about the precautions during the exam.
"At the beginning of the magic test, you will be asked to hold a crystal ball, and the crystal ball will amplify your senses, and you have to feel the elements of nature with all your strength, and the more you sense, the brighter the crystal ball will be. ”
"Of course, magical talent is rare, so your main goal is the Samurai Academy," Old Charlie said with a serious face: "You must strictly follow the requirements of the academy teachers, and don't be opportunistic!"
"Got it. The children replied in unison.
"Hmm," Charlie nodded in satisfaction and said no more.
After a while, the outline of the big mountain village appeared in Ari's sight. Houses come and go, and I don't know how much more prosperous than Bran Village.
Although the territory of Dashan Village is large, it is still a bit crowded with children from more than a dozen surrounding villages participating in the exam at the same time. Not to mention that many adventurers and merchants also rushed over to join in the fun, which suddenly made the village full of people, so lively.
Two stages had already been set up in the center of the village, with well-equipped knights guarding the side, and one of the platforms was even more lively around it, with an old man and a girl sitting in the most conspicuous position on the stage.
The old man was about forty years old, his face was already a little old, he was wearing a red mage robe, and he wore a badge on his chest with five horizontal bars, proving that he was a fifth-level fire magician, and the woman was a woman, much younger, about twenty years old, and the mage robe of the same color was more graceful, and he wore some magician badges with four horizontal bars on his chest. is a fourth-level magician.
Ari and the others were about to squeeze in, when suddenly a fat man came over and said in a strange manner: "Yo, isn't this the old village chief Charlie, and he is still participating this time, aren't you afraid of humiliating yourself?"
Old Charlie clenched his fists, but finally ignored him.
However, the fat man was not ready to let go of this good opportunity to taunt old Charlie, and he laughed exaggeratedly.
"You hillbillies can enter the academy, let's go back to farming, I haven't seen you come over for the past two years, I thought you were self-aware. Ha ha. ”
Before Old Charlie could speak, Ari suddenly stood up and asked innocently, "Who are you, this fat uncle?"
The fat man said proudly: "I am Sharby, the village chief of Dashan Village. ”
Ai Rui suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a stupid second village chief, ...... amazing"
Sharbi laughed arrogantly and continued: "Our big mountain village is not like you, under my leadership, every time someone in our big mountain village passes the magic assessment and is admitted to the academy, and then becomes a noble magician. ”
Sharbi was boasting, who knew that suddenly Ariel laughed: "It turns out that the magic talent of the people in your village is still related to you, are you the legendary old king next door?"
"What is the old king next door?" Charbie paused for a moment, then lost interest in talking to Ari, and turned to old Charlie and taunted, "Take them back, don't waste time." Just you mud babies, you still want to be magicians, it's like toads want to eat swan meat. ”
